Hi guys! Im new... 17 years old and aspiring to be a fashion photographer. Is there anything I need to know? I'm a senior on highschool, so I may be jumping ahead of myself, but I'm trying to get a grasp on what I need to do and when it needs to be done so I don't fall behind or don't have time to do something that's necessary.... If that makes sense at all.
What I'd like to know is, what kinds of people do I need to get in touch with in order to go through with being a fashion photographer? I can imagine that the industry is pretty competitive, so I need to get a portfolio together. Are there any necessities when it comes to that? Are there specific kinds of people I need, or can I just use people who I am comfortable with asking at the moment. I figure I'm too young to go to just ask random people who are most definitely older than me to pose in front of a camera, but I know quite a few aspiring actresses; would they be sufficient?
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for any input
